This table is easily scratched and/or gouged. Had the table less than 6 months and already had to use a stain marker to make them less noticeable. Then if lotions on a persons arm rests on the table it dulls the finish and the finish is not able to be returned to the polished look.  The fake distressed look is very fake looking but the finish is easily distressed even with sitting a bag of groceries on the table.
